Narcissus Florals Blooms for Lin’s Linens

Kenneth J. Malagiere is owner of Narsiccus Florals in Toms River NJ. They are a Wedding, Event and Everyday Florist.
Ken became owner of Narcissus Florals in 2005, taking over the family business after graduating from Fairleigh Dickinson University in the same year.

Ken became involved with Lin’s Linens after working with Liz Balogh, director and president of Lin’s Linens, who was a customer of Narcissus Florals in her other design capacities. They clicked right away and as Narcissus is passionate about many charitable causes,  they were open to opportunities to become involved with organizations whose missions the company can support.

Ken says that “bringing beauty and comfort to those who are experiencing tremendously challenging life moments is a mission that I feel is important for any business in our position to support. We have the creativity, product and means to give back
in this small way. It is truly our pleasure”.

Today he leads a design team at Accents by Narcissus, a wedding and event florist on the Jersey Shore and recipient of the 2010 Brides Choice Award. Notably, Ken and his team at Narcissus have been featured in several industry publications including, Floral Finance, Retail Florist and Flowers and Profits.

Ken continues his work as an artist, business owner and concerned citizen while annually completing many commissioned works. Presently, he also serves as President of the Board of Director of the Garden State Philharmonic, and holds board positions on The Wroxton College Advisory Council of Farleigh Dickinson University, Ocean County College Foundation, The Toms Ricer-Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, and The Jersey Shore Business Network, Inc. Other memberships include: The National Political Science Honor Society, SAF Society of American Florists, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County Friend of the Board, and Kiwanis Toms River Day Break. He is an Honorary Commander of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Presently, Ken lives in Toms River with his loving husband Jonathan and ferocious dog Jax. He is enthusiastic about fine art, golf, and spending time with his friends, family and fabulous husband. Together they travel often, live well and laugh as much as possible.
